Today, I got a new laptop for Christmas. The picture on the box showed a woman balancing it on one finger to show how light it was, so I tried it myself. I dropped my laptop, breaking the hard drive and putting a massive crack down the screen. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was laying down on my couch. My friend IM's me on my laptop to watch a video. It turned out that the video was one of those scary pop up's. I got so scared I dropped my laptop. The screen had a big crack. FML
Today, I got a Samsung Galaxy and opened the box to see a cracked screen. I showed the clerk and she said I must have dropped it. I hadn't moved since she handed me the box. FML
Today, I walked into a wall, smashing my laptop into the top of my eye socket. This was all because I was carrying my laptop, phone and chocolate mug cake, all while trying to watch Netflix on said laptop. I feel like a 2016 cliché. FML
Today, while working on my laptop, I accidentally spilled a glass of water. I quickly moved my laptop out of the way of the oncoming stream. It fell on the floor and broke. FML
Today, I was driving to my new home with a lot of my belongings in the car. I could hear things shifting in the back. When I parked, I opened the door, ready to catch my vodka. I caught it - and watched my laptop slide out of the car, onto the concrete, and break into 3 pieces. FML
Today, I got a laptop for my birthday. I was thrilled until I realized that my mom had given away my old one without asking. 6 years of games, music, and pictures down the drain. FML
Today, I received my new laptop in the mail and put it on the kitchen counter, where my family charges all our electronics. My mom then decided to make soup and spilt chicken broth all over my new laptop before I even got the chance to turn it on. FML
Today, without any warning, I projectile vomited all over my laptop. I think I broke my computer. FML
Today, I got my phone fixed after the screen had been shattered for four months straight. Then, the moment they handed it to me, it fell straight to the floor and shattered. Again. FML
Today, I helped friends move home, and since we couldn't all fit in their car I took the bus. While waiting, my new phone slipped and crashed on the floor. It now has a cracked screen right between my two overpriced phone protectors. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You can actually sue or something for false advertisement. At my school in one of my classes, we were talking about dumb cases and everything, and we talked about this guy suing for false advertisement and won so you can actually sue saying its false advertisement or something and hae the chance to win.

There's a difference between false advertisement and this kind of advertisement. While the picture may be intended to show how "light" the laptop may be, I'm sure it says somewhere in the box or manual not to do something that idiotic. Plus even if it doesn't, there's a simple thing called common sense. While most people lack this trait (such as the OP), it doesn't mean they can sue a company for their own stupidity.

Yeah, if its not under warranty, I'm sure you can sue. But in my opinion, YDI, 100%. -_-;

That's not false advertising. I'm sure somebody with actual balance skills would be able to do it. If you think that's false advertising, that's like somebody getting a pogo stick and being too uncoordinated to use it properly, then suing the pogo company because the box says they can hop up and down on the pogo stick when they can't. Besides, the product is not intended to be balanced on one finger... so the fact that a person cannot do it is not a result of false advertising.

OP is in Australia, they aren't litigation crazy like Americans (I'm aussie but live in DC) OP: why would you do that considering anything electronic especially laptops are double even triple the price of what we pay in the States? stupid!
